Alliance for the Prudent Use of Antibiotics

Mission Statement
The mission of the Alliance for the Prudent Use of Antibiotics (APUA) is to strengthen global defenses against infectious disease by ensuring access to effective treatment and promoting appropriate antibiotic use to contain drug resistance. With a network of affiliated colleagues, APUA stands as the world’s leading organisation conducting research and education on antimicrobial treatment and resistance at the grassroots and global levels.


Establishing the Pivotal Role of Infectious Diseases & Clinical Microbiology Professional Societies

This webinar, hosted jointly by ISAC and ESCMID, explored how professional infectious disease and clinical microbiology societies function worldwide, especially in the context of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

Prof. Heiman Wertheim presented the results of a global survey on this topic and highlights key insights into governance, resources, and involvement in national AMR action plans.

These results were first published in the Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance (JGAR), an ISAC journal.

Also in this webinar, hear about the activities of ISAC and ESCMID from the society Presidents, Prof. Souha Kanj (ISAC) and Prof. Robert Skov (ESCMID).


Sepsis 2025 webinar

This important webinar highlights sepsis as a persistent and serious global health challenge, far outlasting the COVID-19 pandemic. Hosted jointly by ISAC and the European Sepsis Alliance to mark World Sepsis Day, the event features two expert-led lectures.


The Built Environment of the Hospital and Nosocomial Infections

Explore how hospital design directly impacts infection control in this insightful webinar featuring two leading experts. • Professor Margreet Vos highlights why hospital design matters in preventing nosocomial infections. • Professor Paul Anantharajah Tambyah reflects on lessons from the pandemic and how the built environment can be optimised for future resilience.

Watch now to understand how architecture, infrastructure, and infection prevention intersect in modern healthcare.

"Antibiotics are uniquely societal drugs because individual use affects others in the community and environment.  Better stewardship, incentives, and establishment of a special regulatory category will improve how they are used, marketed, and developed through incentives to industry."

Stuart B. Levy, M.D.
President of APUA, professor at Tufts University School of Medicine
From the IOM 25th Anniversary Symposium (1996) and
The Antibiotic Paradox (2002)
